B at the Pumpkin Patch
Yup, it’s been awhile, and even longer since I updated about our little one. She’s nearly 10 months old now and is standing up on her own and crawling all over the place. Walking is not far away! Last Sunday we took her to pick out a pumpkin for Halloween and she did just that. She’s the most beautiful thing in the world and we’re having the best time with her as she grows up.
As for us, I’ve been working up in Glendale a lot lately and Monique has recently landed a new job at Yamaha! We’re excited about the holidays and can’t wait to celebrate a big 1st birthday in January!
What is a Grub Box?

When I was a kid and we’d go on a family camping trips, we took along something called a Grub Box. This was something my dad had made that housed all of the camping essentials. It’s a big wooden box with handles and a drawbridge type door that can be used as a work surface (work = making sandwiches much of the time). We’re planning a camping trip at the end of the month and I thought it would be cool to have a grub box for the occasion, and camping trips going forward as our little one gets older. There are many camping trips in her future, and it’s nice to carry on traditions this way.
Grub Box 3.0
So there it is.. I spend about 6 hours on it total, over 2 weekends. It’s made from a couple of different types of plywood, a ton of screws, somce glue, and a few misc pieces of hardware. It’s about half full for now, but we’ll make sure it’s good and packed before we leave for the trip!
Old Skool RSS

A friend of mine, Ben, has launched an early version of an idea he had awhile back. It’s the ability to set up an RSS feed that will remind you to check any site that doesn’t have an RSS feed of it’s own. You can also use it for general reminders! Support Ben’s idea and get back in touch with an old school site at reminderss.com!
